How many Rangers are 6-5?

Thursday, September 16th, 2004




Maybe you’ve heard of the little incident during the A’s and Rangers game a couple days ago. I’m not gonna talk about that too much. They may have been out of line (the fans), but you don’t go into the stands – you tell someone and the fan shuts it/is removed. You just do not go into the stands.

What I wanted to talk about was the fact that first, the man said that these guys are 6-5, these are big guys, etc. Then, guess what… the woman says the same thing. These guys are 6’5”, these are big guys. I am wondering… how many of the Rangers are 6-5 or taller? Before I checked, I guessed 3.

My research shows that 3 are. (Good guess! :)) They are Doug Brocail (6-5), Jeff Nelson (6-8) and Chris Young (6-10).

Jimmy on Ricky

Monday, September 13th, 2004




Former Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson (who I’m not big one – he’s alright) weighed in on Ricky Williams on Fox’s NFL pregame show:

“He wrecked the Dolphins,” Johnson said. “If you want to walk away from the game and go smoke dope in Asia, fine. But don’t do it a week before the season.

“The other thing is he considered coming back for more money. That told me a little bit about this guy. Down the road, Ricky is going to be broke and will want to come back to play. Now I’m a liberal coach, but I wouldn’t touch this bum because he doesn’t have any passion for the game.”

Nice…

Friday, September 10th, 2004




Well, today… I bought a plastic file holder, a chairmat for the floor, a light, a chair, a desk, a wireless router with PC card, a USB adapter for it, set up an appointment with Comcast to get Cable Internet and basic cable…

Next… maybe tonight – the biggest bill yet: my new PC (and first PC all to myself).

Sometime this month or next, I might also be buying a TV (like 27 inches) and maybe a bookcase, if I decide I need one.

I will spend more money in 30 days than I have in most of my life.

Maybe I’ll post a picture when it’s all settled. I can’t wait.

Good bye, money…

Question

Thursday, September 9th, 2004




Derek Jacques posted his list of stupid questions.

I liked:

What would Yankee haters do if the organization were responsible for something important, like finding a cure for cancer? They’d bitch about it, obviously, but how would they bitch about something as benevolent as a cure for cancer? “The Jimmy Fund could have discovered a cure for cancer if only we had a salary cap”?

Dolphins get Gordon

Wednesday, September 8th, 2004




The Dolphins picked up Lamar Gordon. This is good news. He seems like he could be a good fit, from what I know. I’m reading newspapers and things and its harsh to see the Dolphins predicted as like 4th in the division… wow. I really don’t think we’re that bad. We’ll see, I guess.

Oh, yeah… the Yankees Rotation

Monday, September 6th, 2004




Larry Mahnken reminded me to write an entry about the state of the Yankees rotation for the postseason. But, he did such a good job and reflects my opinion so well, that I’ll just defer to him:

People are talking about the Yankees’ remaining postseason rotation as if it’s the worst ever assembled. Mike Mussina and Javier Vazquez haven’t pitched well this year, but they’re not bad pitchers. They do have the ability to dominate, they’ve done it for several years in the past. They can do it in the postseason. Will they? I don’t know, but they very well could, so don’t tear your hair out over it. I have much more confidence in a Duque/Moose/Vazquez/Lieber postseason rotation than most people. They don’t need to be great, they just need to be good enough, and that they can be.
